Chapter 257

Chapter 257 No Way!

“Belle, it’s you who brought them here, not us. Even if they are distinguished guests, you have to take responsibility for their disappearance, right?

What’s more, our Barton family don’t welcome them at all.”

William was not as polite as his parents. If he was unhappy, he could just say it out loud. He didn’t give Belle any face at all.

Belle was so angry that her face turned red. “How, how can you talk to your elders like that?”

William smiled and said, “Haven’t I always had a bad temper? It’s not the first time that you’ve met me, belle.”

“That’s right.” Belle thought.

“Every time I meet William, he is not kind to me and ridicule me as much as possible.”

It had been a long time since William had returned to Los Angeles, and Belle had forgotten what kind of people he was.

She couldn’t win the argument, so Belle didn’t say anything but put on airs.

“Yes, it’s my fault for bringing them here without telling you in advance, but I did it for your own good. She’s Mr. Trevino of the Trevino family in New York. If I bring them here to visit our family, won’t it be a honor for our Barton family?”

Honor?

William couldn’t help sneering in a presumptuous manner.

How could Belle be so thick-skinned to say such words like our Barton family?

The people at the table didn’t bother to talk to Belle and didn’t correct her. Otherwise, they would scold her for being shameless.

When Belle heard William’s mocking sneer, her expression became even more serious.

“William, I’m serious. I heard that your company is also in New York. The Trevino family has been established for many years. If there is any project to deal with, you have to rely on them! I brought them here today. You have to thank me!”

“Yes, thank you for sending me a big gift on my birthday.”

William picked up the goblet in front of him and raised his hand to Belle.

Belle frowned, and her voice suddenly stopped.

She thought. “This kid is not normal. Normally, he would have scolded me a long time ago. Why would he propose a toast to me?

“It is really strange.”

However, Belle didn’t argue with him anymore.

“It’s best if you can think like that.”

Belle raised her glass in return.

“I didn’t know about it before, but after seeing Cierra, I found out that she had divorced with the Trevino family. I can understand that you are prejudiced against Mr. Trevino because of that marriage, but you can’t blame me. I didn’t know that Cierra was Mr. Trevino’s ex-wife, right? I just brought Mr. Trevino here out of kindness. If I had known it earlier, I wouldn’t have brought them here again.”

As soon as Belle finished speaking, the atmosphere at the dining table darkened.

Even the good-tempered Sarah put down her fork.

On the one hand, Sarah had been enduring it because Belle was her younger sister. Even if they fell out with each other, they were related by blood, so it was meaningless to say more.

On the other hand, Sarah knew that it was useless to say anything. Belle was thick-skinned. Last time, when Belle spoke up for the Trevino family, Sarah got angry when Belle acted as a matchmaker for Cierra. But today, Belle still dared to come and even brought them here in person.

People should have self-knowledge, but Belle had no self-knowledge at all!

Just as Sarah was about to lose her temper, a woman’s cold voice came from the door of the dining room.

“From what you said, if I weren’t Mr. Trevino’s ex-wife, you would think that there’s nothing wrong with bringing Mr. Trevino to visit our house, right?”

Belle thought. “That’s right.”

At the same time, she raised her head slightly to show off her pride.

After all, the Trevino family stood at the top of the industry in New York and was completely worthy of the Barton family. Shouldn’t she be proud since she could bring people to visit?

But Belle was not a fool. She knew what to say and what not to say.

There were no ifs, then why should she speak so bluntly?

In Belle’s opinion, even if she brought benefits to the Barton family, these ungrateful people would not remember her kindness.

Seeing her like this, Cierra understood what was going on.

However, Cierra refused to let it go. After putting the food on the table, she sat down beside Sarah and said with a faint smile.

“Before I met you, I heard from my Mom that you wanted to introduce Mr. Trevino to me, and today you brought him here in person. Can I understand that if I’m not Mr. Trevino’s ex-wife, you plan to let me have a blind date with Mr. Trevino today?”

Now that her scheme had been exposed, Belle felt a little embarrassed.

Especially when she was questioned by a person of the younger generation in such a tone, Belle felt even more embarrassed.

“I’m doing this for your own good. Mr. Trevino is outstanding. Many girls in New York want to be with him. If it weren’t for me, it wouldn’t be your turn!

I’m introducing you because I have you in my heart.”

The smile on Cierra’s face widened. “Thank you so much. We haven’t even met each other yet, but you’re already worried that I won’t be able to get married, so you help me arrange a blind date. I’ve just returned home. My mother hopes that I can spend a few more years accompanying her.”

Cierra was mocking Belle for meddling in other people’s business.

Cierra thought. “Even my biological mother has not been worried about my marriage, but my aunt, whom I have never seen before, is worried.

“How can Belle meddle in my business like this?”

Hearing the sarcasm in Cierra’s words, Belle’s face darkened.

“Cierra, I don’t like what you’re saying. I’ve done so much for your own good. Look, you’ve grown up outside. Do you think any of the upper-class young men in Los Angeles will like you? Even if they do, which one of them is better than the Trevino family?”

Pa!

As soon as Belle finished speaking, she was interrupted by the sound of forks hitting the table.

“That’s enough!”

It was Charle who lost his temper. His usual gentle and elegant face was filled with anger, and the sense of oppression of a superior was also fully displayed at this time.

He glared at Belle. “It’s not up to you to decide my daughter’s marriage. Even if she doesn’t want to get married and stays in the Barton family for the rest of her life, it isn’t a big deal! She has been stranded outside for more than 20 years. It’s my dereliction of duty as a father. It’s not her fault. Why do you look down on her? Are people in circle nobler than her?”

When Charle married Sarah, he was ridiculed by the so-called upper class.

your Now that he had climbed up step by step, they were laughing at his daughter? What nonsense!

Just because their family was rich, they dared to look down on the others.

Did they think the Barton family was poor? Why did Cierra need other people’s evaluation?

Divorced but Delighted Chapter 256 Triplets Attack: Game Over Daddy Chapter 1138 When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence Chapter 3189 Before Belle got married more than 20 years ago, Charle had been yelling at her like this. Now that Belle’s daughter had grown up and the two families had always been on friendly terms. Bella had never seen Charle so angry.

The fear hidden in her heart was gradually lifted.

After all, it was the younger generation who were going against her now. At this time, it was Charle, who was reaching the top step by step.

“Brother-in-law, I didn’t mean that...”

“I don’t care what you mean. Cierra’s marriage is only up to her. It’s not up to you to decide! Not to mention the Trevino family in New York, even if the Trevino family in the Capital City comes to propose marriage, they have to get Cierra’s permission. Otherwise, there’s no way!”
